Its strength is a clear biographical account of his ministry, the Hicksite/Orthodox schism and a specific count (62) of surviving Peaceable Kingdom canvases. It is cited here for biography and provenance, not as the authority on the painting's own physical description, which the National Gallery of Art's own collection record supplies instead.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (63 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested3Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a painter's biography rather than a disputed claim.NotesWell-attestedRead directly.
